Welcome

At Taylor Railworks we are serving Borderless American Cuisine on this side of the railroad tracks.

Our kitchen is inspired by the movement of migration across our country and the collaborations that happen between people, ingredients and place. Y’see, we love our grandparents cooking as much as we love yours…

We are fortunate to find ourselves in the Pacific Northwest where produce is abundant and the growing conditions are conducive to so many of the international ingredients that have captured our imaginations. We work with local farms to find the freshest produce and with local growers for the best in proteins. You’ll find some familiar American Classics on our menu, and some with an unexpected twist.

So, come join us for dinner. We’ve got just the right cocktail to pair with your appetizer, and somewhere on our list is the right bottle of wine for sharing.

The approximately 50-seat restaurant is the collective effort of former Little Birdexecutive chefErik Van Kley; his life partner, Gabriella Ramos (Nostrana, Toro Bravo, laurelhurst market, and Le Pigeon).

Just as the name suggests, Taylor Railworks is situated where the railroad tracks meet Taylor Street in the Central Eastside Industrial District. The restaurant is both spacious and cozy, with reclaimed and weathered wood as a central theme, from the original supports from the Plow Works Building to the cork floors and the finely sanded Doug fir chef's counter.

All Taylor Railworks meals should start with The Boxer, four perfect slices of yellowtail tossed in avocado oil, arranged in wave-like folds above a shallow pool of ponzu sauce and decorated with baby cilantro, cured steelhead roe and Thai chiles that lend both spice and crunch.....Van Kley's partner, Gabriela Ramos built a list of high-altitude wines, bottled beers, sturdy winter cocktails and an interesting selection of apertifs, digestifs and vermouths.
